Single malt Scotch whisky from an undisclosed distillery on the legendary isle of Islay, released by the Morrison family - a name which has been in the Scotch whisky sphere for many, many moons now. This particular expression, named Mac-Talla Terra (Mac-Talla means "echo" in Scottish Gaelic, while Terra relates to earth), was aged in American oak casks, and offers up plenty of richly smoky peat notes.
Warm hay, dusty furniture, turf, pear, just a smidge of sea breeze.
Black pepper earthiness, with wave after wave of peat smoke, softly balanced by hints of sweet vanilla.
Oaky cinders remain on the finish.

One of the best introductions to Islay, a classic Islay as the name suggest. Great value for money in this category.
I was eager to try Mac-Talla Terra after previously trying their Cask Strength version Mara and it certainly didn't disappoint. This is a very versatile whisky which can be enjoyed both by Islay lovers as well and those looking to get into Islay Single Malts. It has the peat smoke you would may expect from many Islay whiskies, however this is gentle and opens up to wood smoke and vanilla on the finish. Excellent value for the price and have already purchased another bottle
